Description of problem: When crash is executed in retrace it does 2 things: 1. analyzes the core quickly and possibly prints some warnings 2. executes crashrc which runs mod -S and that prints tons of messages End result is that whatever warnings were initially printed are now gone from the screen and one has to scroll to check them. People interested in output printed by mod -S can always run lsmod. So I think this should be changed so that mod -S no longer spams the terminal. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: just run retrace-server-interact <task> crash Additional info: Simplest thing to do is mod -S ... > /dev/null, but that may produce confusing output. Instead one can put the following: echo Loading symbols for modules... mod -S /cores/retrace/repos/kernel/x86_64/usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/2.6.18-274.el5 | wc -l Effect: [..] Loading symbols for modules... mod: cannot find or load object file for vmxnet module mod: cannot find or load object file for vmxnet3 module mod: cannot find or load object file for pvscsi module mod: cannot find or load object file for vmci module mod: cannot find or load object file for vxfs module mod: cannot find or load object file for fdd module mod: cannot find or load object file for vxportal module mod: cannot find or load object file for vmmemctl module mod: cannot find or load object file for vsock module mod: cannot find or load object file for vxdmp module mod: cannot find or load object file for vxio module mod: cannot find or load object file for vxspec module mod: cannot find or load object file for llt module mod: cannot find or load object file for gab module mod: cannot find or load object file for vxfen module mod: cannot find or load object file for vxodm module 96 crash> Or one could pipe mod -S to awk and produce more friendly output, whatever.
Fixed in upstream. I've just sent the stdout of 'mod -S' to /dev/null and after testing on a few random vmcores the output seems to be fine. The log can be later accessed with 'mod' command. commit 2db85d77ce183c0aa05c1a0d7a3177f656d87f20 Author: Michal Toman <mtoman> Date: Mon Aug 12 12:43:26 2013 +0200 do not show output of 'mod -S' by default
